Abstract: We investigate the problem of similarity to a self-adjoint operator for $J$-positive Sturm-Liouville operators $L=frac1omega(-frac{d}^{2}d{x}^2+q)$ with $2pi$-periodic coefficients $q$ and $omega$. It is shown that if 0 is a critical point of the operator $L$, then it is a singular critical point. This gives us a new class of $J$-positive differential operators with the singular critical point 0. Also, we extend the Beals and Parfenov regularity conditions for the critical point $infty$ to the case of operators with periodic coefficients.
